The Largest Employer in Kansas City
Years ago I went to a convention of the National Institute of Restoration in Kansas City, Missouri. While I ws there I learned a few facts about the city. Who do you think the largest employer in Kansas City is? If you guessed the federal government give yourself a gold star!
The federal government!!! In the heartland of America? In the state that gave us Rush Hudson Limbaugh! Believe it! Our government workforce is HUGE and much of it is not even in Washington DC where you would expect to find it.
This was over seventeen years ago! Now if you think the federal bureaucracy has decreased in the years following my discovery think again. It is only going to get worse.
Tucked away in the 2000+ pages of 'healthcare' that was railroaded through the house last night is a provision for hiring 16,000 new IRS agents! What do more IRS agents have to do with making healtcare more affordable? They are essential if 'healtchare' involves collecting fines and increased compliance monitoring.
Here's a better idea: Reports from reliable sources say there are millions in unpaid taxes by FEDERAL EMPLOYEES! How about the existing agents leaving alone all but the most blatent private sector cases and concentrate on cleaning their own house for a year?
Statistics show that people doing the same job as someone in the private sector make 20% more working for the government. If we're intent on 'taxing the rich' here's an exellent place to start.
While I'm on the subject, if redistbution of wealth from the 'evil rich' is such a priority, how about some tort reform so those nasty old trial lawyers don't get rich off of our medical spending?
It's Time to 'Redisribute the Jobs'
Speaking of trial lawyers, with lawyers being so overrepresented in our Congress and the 2010 elections on the horizon, it's time to fire the representatives and senators who gave us no representation over the past eighteen months. Scott Brown is evidence that we can get better representation anywhere. We can look for Jefferson's ideal of citizen governance on all levels as we vote this November.
It goes without saying that Ronald Reagan's vision needs to be implemented again. Taxation and government will need to be cut in order to restore vitality to the market economy that creates real jobs and real growth... the private sector!
